No single company has pushed 4K video like Panasonic. Its GH series has represented the best blend of sharp photos and pro-grade video in a single package.

I did write a lengthy review for you but unfortunately when I submitted it down below it came up with an error and lost it all. I would have liked to rewrite it but it's taken me a couple of hours to compose and I'm not sure whether the same thing will happen again. Sorry.....

Our lab-tested review of Panasonic's new flagship GH5 mirrorless video camera.

Sturdy, Crisp images

Heavy, Slow Autofocus

Too often the hype exceeds the delivered product. Not in this case! The GH5 feels right in all of my uses whether photos or video. I had originally planned to put it in the air under my DJI M600P, but am rethinking that more because I enjoy using it on the ground so much.

Easy to use; Exceeded expectations; well balanced

The Lumix GH5 is Panasonic's most powerful mirrorless camera to date and a worthy successor to the GH4, whether you're shooting stills or movies. It's fast, flexible and feature-packed, easily taking-on rivals in this category and out-performing virtually anything at its price for video.

Let's stipulate up front that video is what's driving most of the interest in the GH5.It's packed with video features, several of which we've never seen on a stills camera before. But don't assume the GH5 is only about video.

The Panasonic Lumix GH5 is a new flagship compact system camera featuring 4K 60p/50p and internal 4K 30p 4:2:2 10-bit video recording, a new 20.3 megapixel sensor with no low-pass filter, and upgraded 6K Photo function which extracts 18 megapixel images from a 30fps burst.

The camera world has been moving at a slow pace over the last couple of years, with only small gains to be made. If you were to compare the GH5's image quality to the earlier GH4, for example, then the gains aren't that significant. But that's besides the point.

When it comes to pro 4K video capture there's little else to compare; Great stills camera too; Abundant autofocus options and capability (including 6K Photo; Great EVF and LCD

Sony A99 II gives high-end users a lot to consider; Some autofocus slip-ups (bright lighting; In particular; Causes issues; Chunky for a mirrorless camera

Panasonic's flagship camera isn't a one-trick pony, but it does have one main boast: 4K video brilliance.

Is Panasonic’s new flagship the new 4K video master?

Smooth, stable 60fps 4K video, Tons of controls, Huge OLED viewfinder, Weatherproof build

Not the greatest low light performer
